    Asterinas is a secure, fast, and general-purpose OS kernel, written in Rust and providing Linux-compatible ABI.

    They lack essential things for a kernel that could be used in production, viz. not kernel panicing during out-of-memory conditions, not an easy thing to retrofit when you have designed without consideration of it. It will probably take a bit more than 2 and a half months to rectify that.

  • kerla

    A new operating system kernel with Linux binary compatibility written in Rust.

    There was also the similar project Kerla¹ but development stalled. Recently people argued that instead of focusing on Rust-for-Linux it would be easier to create a drop-in replacement like these two. I wonder if there are enough people interested to make this happen as a sustained project.
